Recipe for beating the Rays:
- Start with Jon Lester throwing 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball.
- Add Jonathan Papelbon to get out of trouble in the 8th & pitch a scoreless 9th.
- Throw in 3 1st-inning runs with contributions from Big Papi, Jason Bay & Coco Crisp.
- Cook for 3 hours & you have a 1/2 game difference for the AL East lead.
This game had all the earmarks of a playoff classic with Boston coming out on top. A win tonight puts the Sox back in 1st, maybe to stay.
Fans get treated to another great pitching matchup tonight with Kazmir vs. Dice-K. Let's see if the Sox keep rolling or the Rays stop their skid. I'm betting on the Sox.
